Abstract
Nanocarbons were successfully synthesized from benzene (BZ), nitro-benzene (BZ-NO2) and aniline (BZ-NH2) by solution plasma process (SPP).
Highlights
Li–air batteries have been used in energy conversion and storage devices for various applications.[1,2,3,4] These face critical challenges that result from poor cycle life, low practical energy density, low round-trip efficiency, and high manufacturing costs
We have synthesized the nanocarbons by solution plasma process
The highest synthesis rate was observed for the nanocarbon from BZ
Summary
Li–air batteries have been used in energy conversion and storage devices for various applications.[1,2,3,4] These face critical challenges that result from poor cycle life, low practical energy density, low round-trip efficiency, and high manufacturing costs. To improve the energy storage properties, catalytic activity and reduce the cost, ORR is demanded.[5,6,7]. Nanocarbons such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, porous and nonporous carbon materials and graphene have shown large specific surface areas, high conductivity, electrocatalytic activity, mechanical capacity, ultra-light characteristics, and chemical and thermal resistance.[13,14,15,16,17,18] Heteroatom (nitrogen, boron, and phosphorus) doped nanocarbon has shown the higher ORR activity.[19,20,21,22,23].
